Draft Watch – Late Round OT

Waddle is 6-6, 321. He has 41 career starts, mostly at LT. Put on the tape and you see a player with some potential, but who does need work. His feet look okay, but his technique is terrible. Doesn’t kick slide. He moves his feet backward as if walking back. That’s a big no-no in pass pro.

“Waddle ran the 40-yard dash in 5.42 and 5.37 seconds. He had a 29-inch vertical jump and a 8-foot-6 broad jump. His short shuttle time was 4.88 seconds and his three-cone drill was completed in 7.23 seconds. He performed 23 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Waddle is described as a mauling-type tackle, and could be a sixth- or seventh-round draft choice.”

I think I messed up… “galumph” is not a noun (as I used it), but rather a verb describing a clumsy, uncoordinated walk. I remember being asked to galumph as a demonstration in freshman English (high school) and being mortified. In fact, I believe I said, “I refuse to galumph,” making matters worse.
